After 25+ years working at Laurie Hopkins Menswear, Michael Hopkins has set up TravellingTailor.co.uk to bring quality Made to Measure garments and ready to wear clothing to you office or home.

As we gear up for the TravellingTailor.co.uk Spring/Summer 2018 season, it seems everything and nothing has changed from our old Laurie Hopkins Menswear days

As we gear up for the TravellingTailor.co.uk Spring/Summer 2018 season, it seems everything and nothing has changed from our old Laurie Hopkins Menswear days.

What I mean by that is; we used to have an ‘in house joke’ about the start of the Spring/Summer season. We would comment that the first time Jayne dressed our windows (at our shop in Lindley, Huddersfield) with the new season Spring/Summer menswear collections, it would snow!

Now fast forward to life as TravellingTailor.co.uk.

Yesterday morning I was getting ready to visit a client in Skelmanthorpe to show him my range of ready to wear mens suits.
At around 10am, a DPD driver turned up with a parcel. It was the Spring/Summer 2018 Meyer trousers and shorts stockbook. As I signed for the book I noticed it was snowing !

Meyer Spring Summer 2018 stockbook.

Infact, it snowed all the way to Skelmanthorpe. At one point my TravellingTailor.co.uk van got stuck in the snow as I was climbing the hill to Skelmanthorpe ! (But that’s another story and the snow had all but vanished 40 minutes later as I made my way back.)

So it would appear that whilst everything has changed in relation to our shop and what I do now, very little has really changed. I still provide quality menswear at realistic prices. It’s just that it’s now done in the comfort of your own home or office.

TravellingTailor.co.uk is more than just Made to Measure suits and jackets. Although made to measure is big part of the business. TravellingTailor.co.uk is also about providing Ready to Wear menswear and Corporate Clothing to customers, when they want it and where they want it.

In January 2018, TravellingTailor.co.uk visited clients in Yorkshire and beyond. We provided them with Made to Measure suits, ready to wear suits, trousers, denim jeans and chinos. We’ve supplied both ladies and gents corporate wear to clients.

We’ve talked to prospective Groom’s about their Wedding Suit requirements and taken orders for made to measure and ready to wear suits for wedding parties as well as Dinner suits for evening functions.

Here at travellingtailor.co.uk even had enquiries to supply ready to wear Morning Dress suits complete with Top Hats for Royal Ascot.
